Usage
  • maintain <spell name>
  • unmaintain <spell name>

The spell maintenance skill is used to keep certain spells up continuously, so that they do not expire after a certain time. Instead of needing to recast the spell periodically, the spell saps a small amount of mana from the caster for as long as the spell is up. A spell maintained with the 'maintain' command can also be removed with the 'unmaintain' command.
